===Military geography===
{{Main|Military geography}}
Military geography encompasses much more than simple protestations to take the high ground. Military geography studies the obvious, the geography of theatres of war, but also the additional characteristics of politics, economics, and other natural features of locations of likely conflict (the political "landscape", for example). As an example, the [[Soviet–Afghan War]] was predicated on the ability of the Soviet Union to not only successfully invade Afghanistan, but also to militarily and politically flank the [[Islamic Republic of Iran]] simultaneously.
